Nothing says sweet treat - not trick - like a Pumpkin Martini.

Ingredients

1.5 oz. vanilla vodka

1 oz. pumpkin liqueur

1 oz. butterscotch Schnapps

sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice

dried pumpkin seeds to garnish

Halloween wouldn't be the same without a (non-alcoholic) drink for the kids!

If this one is appealing to the adults as well, simply add 2 oz. cranberry or orange-flavored vodka to the brew when it's added to the glass, and stir.

Ingredients

5 cups apple-cranberry juice

1 cup pineapple juice

1 cup orange juice

2 cinnamon sticks 

2 teaspoons whole cloves

liberal dash of allspice

Bring to a boil in a saucepan, and then lower heat and simmer for 10 - 15 minutes. Pour into mugs, ensuring the brew has cooled to be drink-able.
